Bank of America will not comply with I-134 Requirements

[Ralph and Patrick 2]

I just came from my Bank of America branch to request the same information. I took a copy of the I-134 with me, and although the bank officer could not process the request right then and there, opened a case for me with their "Commit" department that will put this information in a letter form and send it to me within one week. I would guess there is no Bank of America policy that covers this type of request, but it depends on the bank employee helping you. It's the same with any business, some employees will say "we do not do that", while others at the same institution will go above and beyond. Maybe try another branch and mention that they could try opening a case with their "Commit" department.

Had no problems with letter from B.of A. Need the same letter to get a visa to Thailand from the thai embassy, again no probs. Showed current balance, date acct` opened and total deposits for year. as others stated, probably not important anyway, also, my job would not put my income in their letter, not a problem also.

I had issue with my bank also, they were confused by what I was asking for unitl I spoke to the right person. What you want is a "letter of good status/standing" for your account. My letter even had an account specialist stamp and signature on it.

Good luck.

Hi,

My situation is just a little different. I am in Algeria at the moment staying with my fiance's family and my fiance' waiting for the K1 interview. Which is Nov 20, next Thurs.

My last three tax returns state I made over $49,000 , $55,000, and last year $65,000. Also this year I sold two house that I owned out right, so I have quite a lot of money in the bank. Yet my income is very low as far as a monthly income from a pension. So if you just look at my pension income it is not enough. But if you take what I have in the bank and they take their percentage, I make about $48,000 a year. Does that make sense?

What I see as a problem is I did not read the I 134 well enough and it states as you have all said already I need a statement from an officer of the bank. I did download my bank accounts, and showed my monthly pension auto deposit, I show when I opened my accounts and the year of deposits. But it is not from an officer of the bank. I wrote to my bank and they just said it would take 15 working days. See the problem? I am in Algeria...dahhhhhh

I will call them and see if they can get creative! Does it sound like this is going to be a problem if I have the tax returns, W 2 s and bank statements that I printed out?

Thanks for your help!

LoveHamzahra!!
